THE NEW YORKER kri, the Rumanian Order of Michael the Brave, the Egyptian Order of Mahomed Ali, the collar of the Ruma- nian Order of Carol, and the Chilian Order of Merit (first class). He holds degrees from Oxford, Edinburgh, Toronto, Queen's University, Mel- bourne, Cambridge, Calcutta, Hong Kong, St. Andrew's, Cape Town. T o cope with the heavy schedule that develops from his obliga- tions and his inclinations, he has built up a physique that is a credit to the British Empire. To all appearances he is one of the fittest men in England. He is fitter than Bernarr Macfadden, Gene Tunney, and U go Zacchini rolled into one. Fatigue to him is nothing. He requires very little sleep ( five hours is ample). But he sleeps like a man stunned the moment his head hits the pillow. He makes a another uniform) , put in an hour's sguash, climb into fancy dress, and dance till four. This is no exaggera- tion. On top of it, he is apt to stop his train outside the city limits, go for a fi ve-mile run along the tracks in shorts and sweater, have a bath, catch two hours' sleep, and be up ready to do the whole thing over again the following day. An appalling man. On board the Repulse, bound for Africa, he used to bid good night at a late hour to his groggy, exhausted attendants, and then turn up later in pajamas for an hour's practice on the trap drums, audible throughout the ship. He behaves much the same on any day in London-up early, squash at the Bath Club, back home by nine, hot bath, shave (he shaves himself), break- fast, ready for work by ten. Besides the Bath Club he belongs to the Marl- borough, the Guards', the Bachelors', the Royal Automobile, and the Savage. He has the biggest wardrobe in the world, much bigger than Douglas F air- banks', who runs him second. He always decides on his clothes himself, and gives great thought to them. On particu- larly ticklish questions he asks the ad vice of his household- such as whether a bow ler is all right with the miners, or whether they'd prefer to see him in a cap. His at- fetish of sweating, and his path round the world is strewn with the limp frag- ments of aides, interpreters, and news- papermen who have tried to keep pace with him for a few breathless days. Fifteen thousand miles to Cape Town and back, thirteen thousand on two round trips to Canada, twenty-eight thousand to India and Japan and back, thirty thousand on two South Ameri- can expeditions-and every mile of the way busy. The program of one of his tours would kill an ordinary prince. He can dance till four, board a train or a plane immediately afterward, arrive somewhere before breakfast, re- view the troops ( in the proper uni- form) , shake two thousand hanÇ.s, make a speech, play two rounds of golf, attend an official luncheon) drive through the streets, un veil something, shake another thousand hands, make another speech, review more troops (in "': '" ":Y;}j 27 . .
